Programming in C# (55339AC) — Lesson 1: C# Language and Program Foundations

Learning Objectives

• Create .NET projects and use variables, types, operators, and expressions
• Apply conditions, loops, methods, parameters, arrays, and strings
• Debug syntax, logic, conversion, null, and boundary errors

Detailed Topics

• Create .NET projects and use variables: Create .NET projects and use variables, types, operators, and expressions
• Apply conditions: Apply conditions, loops, methods, parameters, arrays, and strings
• Debug syntax: Debug syntax, logic, conversion, null, and boundary errors

Guided Demonstration

1. Review the requirement, environment, dependencies, roles, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Demonstrate the relevant configuration, analysis, code, or administration workflow step by step.
3. Capture settings, outputs, logs, screenshots, calculations, or test evidence.
4. Compare the observed result with the stated acceptance criteria.

Hands-On Activity

Build and test a console application that processes validated input.

• Document assumptions and the planned sequence before making changes.
• Complete the activity and preserve evidence of normal and exception behavior.
• Record issues, corrective actions, and reusable operational or development notes.

Troubleshooting Focus

• Separate symptoms from causes and collect evidence before applying a fix.
• Check configuration, permissions, data, dependencies, capacity, connectivity, and recent changes.
• Validate rollback, recovery, support ownership, and user or business impact.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement and expected outcome are clear.
• The selected configuration, design, query, code, or process is documented.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• The result is supported by evidence and the next improvement is prioritized.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can explain and apply C# Language and Program Foundations in a realistic scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
